Class of 2014....Bo Scarbrough versus Leonard Fournette

From an early look at the 2014 class, if these two don't outgrow the RB position, they are poised to be absolute Beast-Mode RB's. Maybe more athletically gifted than any RB in the last few years. I know Sony Michel is a badass as well, but is he on the level of these two? Both are in the 6'2 220 lb range as sophomores.....wow.
I have attached links to the sophomore highlights for both. Who, IYO, is the better RB prospect at this time? From reviewing the film, it looks as though Fournette is a bit more of the bruiser, while it looks as though Scarbrough has a step on him (has a long, effortless stride). It is hard for me to choose one over the other....let the debate begin early. I'm sure this one will eventually rival all of the AJ Green/Julio discussions.

I'm going to answer like this: there will be another Heisman winner named Bo.

No doubt. Is Sony electric enough to offset the size differential? Bo and Fournette can both move to be that big. That's why I asked if Sony was in their level...I honestly haven't seen enough film of him so far.

We offered Fournette in 7th grade.
Very easily could be the number 1 player in the country.

I couldn't tell you.
I would like to see SR film and make sure Leo doesn't get to big.

No doubt....they are both so big already that they could easily be 240+ by their senior seasons.

All three are studs,but I don't see much that distinguishes themselves yet from sophomore film.

I got downvoted to oblivion some months ago for stating that I didn't see what was so amazing about Bo's highlight reel. Maybe I don't know what a Sophomore should look like on film? With Bo, I see a big and really fast dude. But if I compare him to the highlights of Trent Richardson's nighschool film, its not close... just calling it like I see it. I don't see him bust through 3-4 guys, or multiple amazing juke moves.
Now, I'm NOT saying that Bo won't be a future Top 10 kid and I'm NOT saying that he's not elite. He probably is. I just don't see it in the film (but I'm not a professional talent scout).
For reference, when I watched Reuben Foster's sophomore highlights, I was completely blown away.

This is why i think he might be better at WR. He could be a great RB but i think with his speed,catching ability and lack of breaking 2 or 3 tackles he would be better at WR.
